sash 6, to the end that said screen may be lifted to screen the window opening when By this arrangement the window screen is placed into position without requiring the additional and troublesome labor which is now necessary, aild there is the further advantage that the wiii' dow is not left open for any period of time at all for the placing of the screen into po-v sition. v

The means for lifting the screen consists of a pair of latches 11 that are pivotally mounted Within an enlargement or chamber be connected to the window sash and'brought F ig. 2 is an enlarged detail view showing the means for raising or releasing the screen,

and

Fig.'3 is a transverse sectional viw taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. l.l

Referring to the construction in further detailgand wherein like reference characters designate corresponding parts in the dieient views shown, 4' designates the window frame having slidably mounted therein the usual upper and lower sashes 5 and 6, and the wall structure 7 beneath said frame is formed with a chamber or recess 8 to receive and conceal the screen 9, having a suitable form of rigid frame 10, as shown.

AThe screen chamber 8 is located immediately beneath and in the plane of the sliding 12 Ithat is formed in the lower edge of the sash' :traine piece 13. (see Figs. 2 and 3). A groove or channel way 1i is also formediii the sash frame 13, and extends for the full length of said piece to receive the-upperr frame portion 15 of the screen. Said frame portion consists of a pair of metal strips suitably connected to bind the edge of thi` screen, and at its middle portion both strips are separated to receive the pair of pins 16 that are adapted to be engaged by the spring-pressed latches 9, for raising the sash into position. I i

The two latches 11 are provided with a pair of hand-engaging members 18 working in slots 17 for the purpose of disengaging the latches from the pins 16 when it is not desired to move the screeny into position z'. e. when weather conditions do not necessitate the use of a window screen.

.It is obvious that those skilled in the art may vary the detailsfof construction and arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit of my invention, and therefore I do not wish to be limited to such features 'except as may be required by the claim. Y

Having thus described my invention, what l claim and desire to secure by Letters Pat ent is:
